The "bash shell", so called, has a graphics stack called
WSLg.

I fear you misunderstand the terminology.  In Microsoft's
"bash shell" is just a text shell, not an environment for
GUI programs.  WSLg is not part of the shell.

I run Firefox in it every day :-) Linux Firefox. On
Windows.

Thanks.  I wish, however, posing direct links to images were
part of the netiquette.  This link opens not an image, but a
rather cluttered website /with/ an image.  There are image
free anonymous image hostings supporting direct links, e.g.
<catbox.moe>.

Running Linux okular is just as easy as Linux Firefox, to
operate.  I can run Windows, bash shell (linux kernel)
container, VMWare, and VirtualBox all at the same time. At
one time, it wasn't advised to do that, but all of that is
running under an inverted hypervisor.  The Windows OS is
virtualized, as is the bash shell, and the two VM hosts.
VirtualBox had to be modified to run under an inverted
hypervisor, and between VirtualBox running in Linux and
VirtualBox running in/on Windows, the Virtualbox
developers have to support two hypervisor environments.

Too much virualisation to my taste, and too little real
thing.  Beware the legions of lobotomized Unices:
